Paolo Bonzini d86c51e956 x86/microcode: do not cache microcode if it will not be used
No relevant upstream kernel due to refactoring in 6.7

Builtin/initrd microcode will not be used the ucode loader is disabled.
But currently, save_microcode_in_initrd is always performed and it
accesses MSR_IA32_UCODE_REV even if dis_ucode_ldr is true, and in
particular even if X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR is set; the TDX module does not
implement the MSR and the result is a call trace at boot for TDX guests.

Mainline Linux fixed this as part of a more complex rework of microcode
caching that went into 6.7 (see in particular commits dd5e3e3ca6,
"x86/microcode/intel: Simplify early loading"; and a7939f0167203,
"x86/microcode/amd: Cache builtin/initrd microcode early").  Do the bare
minimum in stable kernels, setting initrd_gone just like mainline Linux
does in mark_initrd_gone().

Note that save_microcode_in_initrd() is not in the microcode application
path, which runs with paging disabled on 32-bit systems, so it can (and
has to) use dis_ucode_ldr instead of check_loader_disabled_ap().
